Chapter 2 Flash Back
That was all Kagome could remember, her head hurt really bad but she couldn't quite figure out why, there was a sharp stinging pain around her midsection and thighs. She turned around to see InuYasha staring at her with his golden eyes. She turned away from him no longer able to stand his stare.
"Oi, wench, what happened?" InuYasha asked a little agitated by the fact that he couldn't really remember any thing and the fact that Kagome wouldn't look at him.
"I don't remember," Kagome said as she turned to face him.
-Kagome's mini-party was going well; Miroku had picked up some kind of powder that caused the fire to change color. Every one was enjoying themselves even InuYasha who was busy stuffing his face with ramen while the others picked at the sushi and the shrimp rice bowl.
"Kagome," Shippo said between bites of rice "You should probably open your presents now." He had been excited about her opening his present but he wanted to save it for second.
"Oh, good idea Shippo!" Kagome squealed as she reached for one of the presents in front of her. The first one she could get her hands on was Sango's. It was a beautiful light green kimono with a golden sash. "Oh my god, Sango!" Kagome said shocked as she hugged her pregnant friend.
"Open mine next!" Shippo said as he held out his present for Kagome.
She took the present with a smile on her face, she could still hardly believe that the little fox that would crawl on her shoulder when he was scared was almost her size, if she had met him in her time minus the fox ears, legs and tail she would have sworn he was at least in 8th grade.
As she torn the weed grass paper from the small bamboo box, she could see a glimmer of shine between the slits in the bars. As she opened the box the very same bottle her mother had given was the one she was staring at in the box.
Shippo mistook her hanging jaw for outstanding awe and smiled very proudly. Kagome took the bottle out and looked at the bottom and sure enough there were the same three scratch marks on it. "Shippo," she said confused, "Where did you get this?"
"I made it myself!" he beamed proudly.
"Wif MY helf!" InuYasha said with his mouth full of ramen.
"Ok so I made the bottle, but I had InuYasha use his sword to send the shards of diamond at the crystal and then I used my fox fire to blend it all together. Do you like it?" he asked his smile fading as if telling his secret made it less special.
"I love it," she said with the most sincere smile she could put on. She placed the bottle back in its box to keep it from being damaged. She sat there with the box in her lap before jerking her head up and saying, "Miroku, what about you?"
"Right here" he said pulling what was obviously a bow wrapped in cloth from behind his back and handed it to Kagome.
She removed the cloth to see a beautiful cherry wood bow. Her mouth hung open again; it had done that a lot that night. She held it up and pulled on the string, it was a little tight but it was strong. "Thank you, Miroku!" Kagome said as she placed the bow next to the box and kimono.
"Here," InuYasha said as he placed a small long box in her lap. She look over at him, he was still stuffing his face as if he had never handed her the box. Upon opening it she saw a gorgeous diamond necklace.
"I guess since InuYasha's sword can produce diamonds it's easier to get them" Kagome thought as she placed the necklace around her neck. She admired the jewel that was placed in the center, it was almost like the Shikon jewel but smaller and a deep red.
"Thank you, thank you all," Kagome said as she hugged each one of them. All of her gifts were too beautiful for words. She really couldn't believe they had gotten her these magnificent gifts. If you can't tell I'm trying to really emphasize the gifts
Later that night after Sango and Miroku had both excused them selves to bed Kagome sit around the fire with Shippo, while InuYasha lay in the lowest branch of the closest tree, he was drifting back and forth between being conscious. Kagome sat with the bottle in her hands staring at it.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" Shippo asked, "You haven't been your self since you saw my gift."
"Shippo, I have something to tell, the bottle you gave me, and well you see my mom gave me the very same bottle in my time, except the scratches on the bottom had blood clotted in them."
Shippo just looked at her unsure of what exactly she was trying to say, Shippo had always viewed her as a mother figure since he really didn't remember his own. At time likes this a year ago he would have sat in her lap to comfort her but now he was much too big.
"I don't think I understand what you're getting at," he said to her wishing he was small again and could hold onto her stomach like a son would to his mother.
"Well ever since this accident," Kagome said holding up the crimson tips of her hair, "I've been able to tell whose blood is whose, and I recognized all of our blood on it, and I'm worried," she said it so blatantly, but that was probably the only way she could say it without tearing up.
"Don't worry Kagome things will be fine," he said putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder, "I'm going to bed now, don't stay up to late, night mo-Kagome."
How many times had he almost called her mom? She really would wonder some times, it was actually very sweet that he looked at her like a mother, she remembered when Eri's sister was pregnant herself a year earlier, every one was swooning over the baby when it was born except Kagome and every one loved how the baby clung to Eri and her family, of course Kagome was used to Shippo doing that so it didn't seem like a big deal, when every one wanted to have a baby after that she didn't because she felt she had Shippo.
Kagome looked around, got up, and headed towards the tree InuYasha was sleeping in and climbed up to his branch.
InuYasha just continued to stare at the full moon. "Thank you,"
"What?" he asked looking at her without moving his head.
"Thank you for the necklace, it's beautiful," she said leaning against him.
"Yeah," he said leaning back, "Just like the moon…"-
InuYasha watched as Kagome furiously rubbed her head trying to get an idea of what exactly happened next. "What time is it?" she asked noticing that the sun was almost in the middle of the sky.
"It's about 12:45," InuYasha replied calmly as if the fact he was naked in the middle of the forest had no affect on him.
"Ughh, I got to go!" she said as she located her cloths and shabbily put them on. Once she was dressed she ran to the well and headed to her time. It was dark out; a storm was coming; so Kagome was able to sneak into her house without anyone knowing. The second she got to her room, she crashed.
Although back in the feudal era InuYasha was sitting there trying to figure out what had happened little did he know there were watching eyes. Miroku, upon seeing the sight crawl as quietly away as possible and then went back to where Sango and Shippo had the camp set up.
"Miroku, what took you so long," Shippo asked his ear twitching. He and Sango had been making the rice while Miroku went to go get more firewood. "Where's the fire wood?"
"Well upon my search for fire wood, a sight beseeched me, two young lovers," he said stroking his chin a half lecherous half disgusted smile on his lips.
"Miroku!" Sango exclaimed, he had given up most of his lecherous ways but you can't break a steed.
"Oh don't worry it wasn't the act that caught me off guard, but who it was," he said sitting down and grabbing a bowl of rice. The other two just stared at him for the answer. "InuYasha and Kagome."
"WHAT?" both Sango and Shippo yelled at the same time.
In the future Kagome awoke from her sleep and glanced at the clock, 2:14 A.M. A tray with an omelet and a glass of water sat on her night stand, her mom must have brought it up to her. She sat up and got a queasy feeling in the pit of her stomach. As she got from the bed to head to the bathroom when her window burst open and InuYasha jumped into the room.
"Where have you been?" he said in a loud whisper.
"Why are you getting mad at me?" she argued with him.
"You've been gone, no one has seen you since your birthday," he said as his anger seemed to be cooling off.
"What do you mean, that was yesterday," Kagome was becoming more confused as he continued to talk.
"No, that was a week ago," InuYasha said as he walked over to Kagome, "Are you ok?" he asked feeling her head.
"NO!" she yelled and ran for the bathroom.
Five minutes later of throwing up Kagome was beginning to wonder if she really was sick, she looked at the mini calendar that hung in her bath room and noticed, if it had indeed been a week since she went to sleep, she should have started her period three days ago. "Oh no," Kagome said as she rummaged through the cabinets for what she was looking for.
About two more minutes later InuYasha knocked on the door. "Hey, Kagome, you alright in there?" After he said that the door opened and Kagome pulled him in there with her. "What are you doing?"
"Here" she said as she handed him a box, "Read this," she said pointing to some small blue lettering.
"Ok, let's see 'After waiting 90 seconds look in the view window and if you see a red stripe it means negative, if you see a blue stripe it means positive" "What the hell was I supposed to read that for?" he asked as he turned the box over. HOME PREGNANCY TEST and there stood Kagome holding a tubular thing with a blue stripe on it. "So you're…" he trailed off.
"Yes…"
"So who's is it?" he asked just flipping the box around oblivious to their acts five days ago.
That pissed Kagome off. "What the hell do you mean?! It's yours! Dumbass!" Kagome prepared her lips, "Si-i-i"
"Second floor, SECOND floor, SECOND FLOOR!" InuYasha said fast. The last time she sat him in her room she broke through her floor to the living room; it broke a support beam so she could no longer sit him on the second floor. Kagome stopped her attack and glared at him.
"So what are we gonna do?" she asked taking a seat on the toilet. She looked on the brink of tears. "What am I talking about he doesn't care about me, he wants Kikyo, the bastard probably won't even care about the baby." Her thoughts pushed her over the edge and she burst into tears.
Suddenly InuYasha was at her level and hugged her. "Kagome, I…I…I want this, this baby, you." He blurted it out before he even knew what he was saying.
"What?" Kagome asked as the tears continued to fall. "InuYasha," she said hugging him back, "I love you," she whispered into his ear.
"I…love you, too," he said softly.
